Twin Temple have announced their third studio album.
The Los Angeles Satanic doo-wop duo, husband and wife Zachary and Alexandra James, will release 'Doomed Lovers' through their own Pentagrammaton Records on October 9, following 2023's 'God Is Dead'.
Comprising eight tracks produced by Grammy-winner Shooter Jennings, the album was recorded at Hollywood's Sunset Sound using vintage methods and analogue equipment, with a 37-piece orchestra adding to their '50s rock 'n' roll and country throwback sound. They said:
"We poured everything into this new record that we made with Shooter. We wanted to push ourselves creatively and expand the production further than we have before, drawing inspiration from the lush orchestral productions of Roy Orbison, The Ronettes and The Shangri-Las and added in some Countrypolitan flair. We brought in some incredible musicians like Matt Chamberlain and Jay Bellerose and a 37-piece orchestra. We wanted to make something as beautiful as we possibly could — of course with our dark spin on things.
"The truth is, this album was made during one of the darkest periods of our lives. We had been struggling with grief, health issues, addiction, and depression. But day by day, going into Sunset Sound, making music with incredible people who believed in us, and being surrounded by that creativity slowly brought us back to life."
To mark the announcement, the duo have shared the record's title track, a hauting tribute to a lost lover that combines their occult-inspired theatrical flair with lush orchestral arrangements and swooning vocals.
Twin Temple were recetly dropped from Charley Crockett's US tour due to their Satanic beliefs, but they'll now open for Jack White at his Hollywood Palladium show in Los Angeles on September 29 after the musician offered the duo a chance to join him on tour via a post on Instagram last Friday (July 12). They'll also play a handful of headlining US dates and support Danzig on select shows that month.
